Thumbs down Why would someone pretend to be a birthmother??!!!

Since I work in the 'industry' so to speak - I get a lot of emails from people sharing their stories.

A recent trend, I've noticed, is that women are pretending to be birthmothers.

Not pregnant women looking to place.

Birthmothers.

They are pretending they got pregnant and placed a child for adoption.

Why?

Over the years, its happened on the forums - usually, they just go away (I guess birthmotherhood loses its novelty)

I am trying to think of one good reason why someone would want to PRETEND to be a birthmom...

...I can't.

What are your thoughts on this recent 'trend' not only here on the forums, but in the adoption community at large?
